"People who reach out when the going is tough have my deepest respect. I love my work and feel privileged to be present with people during their significant life transitions. I work with people to discover what they are doing right and expand on those things, rather than focusing on problems or what an individual may have done "wrong". I work to help a person "live" again rather than continue the pattern of their chronic depression or anxiety. A client who elects to go through the process of therapy is a person of courage who is committed to change."
